  1. Its all about good eye appeal! But the 5.5 had chipping too, so the difference between a 5.5 and a 6.0 is only $2000? Again, tough to make any sense of pricing on this book. Definitely not a book you can consistently say is $xK/point like a lot of other keys. Very true, i was surprised with the strong price for the chipped 5.5
  2. Marvel chipping and either a bad scan or else the background has become yellowish
  3. I hate to say it, but the presence of the 7.5 certainly has the potential to hurt the hammer price of your book by removing at least one bidder -- the winner of the 7.5. In addition, given the clock resets that CC uses when a lot is ending, it's possible that the losing bidders on the 7.5 won't know that they've definitely lost until after bidding on your book closes. So those bidders won't have had a chance to bid on your book. I was hoping that the group of bidders for the 7.5 wouldn't have much overlap with the group of bidders for the 7.0. Also was hoping the higher bids on the 7.5 would coax the 7.0 bids upwards... Some good points, there 1 minute apart from each other on the end time.
  4. Page 12 has the "Important announcement" from Stan Lee on one side saying they were dropping the word "Adult" from the title. You need to get over to Ebay and buy page 12 right now. It's being sold for $169. Complete your comic!!! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Amazing-Fantasy-1962-15-CGC-NG-12th-Page-Only-0218044005-/131578389090?hash=item1ea2aee262 So now, what to do? Do I resubmit? Is there a way to reattach that doesn't get me a purple label? If I just lay it in there loose do I get a 1.0 because of the detached pages? Should I just Ask GAtor? How about, just leave the book and page slabbed as is. As a buyer i wouldnt mind having a 'complete book' in 2 different slabs, i rather have 2 blues insted 1 green or purple
  5. http://www.comicconnect.com/bookDetail.php?id=547112 Af15 cgc 7.5 over or under $68.5k? http://www.comicconnect.com/bookDetail.php?id=614996 Af15 cgc 7.0 over or under $47k?
  6. Yeah, high asking prices but the actual sold completed prices look right to me
  7. Mike Sold me key slab book. It was shipped super fast. Packaging was superb!!! Would recommend without hesitation! (thumbs u
  8. The 'real bidder' is also a shill, now outbid by a zero feedback. This listing is now highjacked
  9. Wow, theres a 7.5 and 7.0 in cc auction http://www.comicconnect.com/bookDetail.php?id=547112
  10. Didn't this 7.0 sell outside of comiclink for more than $45,500? http://www.comiclink.com/itemdetail.asp?back=%2Fsearch%2Easp%3Fwhere%3Dsell%26title%3DAmazing%2Bfantasy%2B15%26x%3D%2D121%26y%3D%2D712%26ItemType%3DCB&id=971947
  11. My 7.0 Cl 7.5 The comiclink af15cgc 7.5 ended at $68,500 which makes me very excited. They should have had a better scan of that 7.5 since the gray background is yellowish. Dont know if thats the lighting of the scanner or the actual book. My 7.0 has clean grays, no yellowing
  12. Actually, 'Marvel chipping' does happen on DC books. It's just not as common, but especially in the mid - late SA I've seen plenty of it. Hey Roy - would like your opinion…some in this thread have estimated that both the AF15 and Bat 1 could go for 50K each…what do you think? My man, I try not to speculate on future values anymore. When it comes to desirable books. I'd just value on the lower end of a given range and be excited if I exceed it. Great advice. By the way the two AF 15's in the heritage auction both performed remarkably well, either equaling or exceeding GPA by a lot. I would say that bodes well for your 7.0. (thumbs u -J. What grades were they? 5.5, 4.5, and 4.0ss What did they sell for? 5.5 $23900.00 - previous high $20455.00 4.5 $16730.00 - previous high $14655.00 4.0 SS $13145.00 - previous high $8070.00 but that was in 2012 - last high for a 4.0 was $13501.00 (thumbs u Big gains! The 5.5 has hit 23,900 before on heritage

  14. woah those are two mega keys congrats Most definitely I've consigned a few high dollar books with CC and have always been pleased with the results. You should do fine. +1 That 7.0 should hit 50k or more easily
  15. Super smooth transaction. Secure fast shipping!
  16. This is my old copy that I bought in 1991 from John Verzyl. For those of you who know the collection, this is the Daniel Erwine copy. The 2 biggest defects on the book is the chip out of the spine & someone (before I owned it) started to erase Daniel Erwine's name from the bottom of the 1st page. They put a small hole in the paper. The book has no Marvel chips or tears at all, a real beauty as a 7.5! It looks like an 8.0 all day long. Has the gray background become yellowish? Surely, that is the scan. -J. This copy sold on EBay in late 2011. The seller will do very well. Nice copy! $20k net before fees. If its tge scan causing the yellow distortion. I would bid higher if i knew the gray background was actually still gray

  18. Incredible book, can't say I've ever seen a copy with that bad a case of bleed through though. Amazing!!! I was offered that book when it was in an 8.0 holder before sparkle city resubbed and auctioned For me, i would only sell that book if it netted me a higher af15 or a low grade tec27 or action 1. Nothing else would be worth it
  19. Gorgeous book Keith. Nice clean gray. Af15s pics need to be taken during daylight. Pics under yellowish light discolor the gray background
  20. Yeah, had a debate a few pages on if it would be over or under $65k
